1560 Naval battles that changed the history of warfare

The woods on the east side of the island are not deep and dense, and they cannot play the role of covering the Japanese army at all, and the Japanese army can have a psychological comfort by hiding in it.

When the battle on the island was in full swing, the regiment reported the situation of the Japanese attack on the island to the superiors, and reported it to Yu Feng, who analyzed the landing position of the Japanese army and the situation of the Japanese warships, and quickly made a judgment: The Japanese troops attacking on the island were transported and landed by the remaining three destroyers, and the destroyers would not go too far, so they ordered the two fire support ships "Xingyi" and "Taiji", which were closest to the Japanese destroyers, to intercept the Japanese destroyers.

In Lin Yuan's fleet, the fire support ship is the warship that most resembles a battleship, but its status and role are very different from the battleships of the countries in the world; among the navies of the countries in the world, the battleship is a sharp weapon in the struggle for sea supremacy, and it is the decisive winner in the naval battle, while in Lin Yuan's fleet, the fire support ship is dispatched only after the missile destroyer fleet has completely seized sea supremacy, and attacks the enemy's beachhead under the protection of the main fleet.

Therefore, although the martial arts-class fire support ship has a large number of large-caliber guns, its speed and protection are very poor, especially the speed, and the maximum speed is only fifteen knots, so when the Xingyi ship and the Taiji ship appeared in the field of vision of the Nine Ghost Kuroki, the Nine Ghost Kuroki did not have the slightest worry.

Nine Ghost Kuroki commanded in a loud voice: "Target Wonsan Port, advance at maximum speed!" "The Japanese sailors immediately took control of the ship as ordered and headed for the port of Wonsan at maximum speed.

At this time, both the Xingyi and the Taiji ships discovered the Japanese ships, and the two battleships immediately turned their guns and aimed at the Japanese destroyers. The turret is equipped with a gyroscopic stabilization system, which can stabilize the muzzle pointing when the hull shakes in a complex way, so the gun can be fired accurately.

Everything was ready, the captain gave an order, and the twelve 305 mm heavy guns on the Xingyi ship fired together, and the shells flew towards the Japanese destroyer with a roar, landing more than 30 meters behind the Japanese destroyer, splashing up water columns more than ten meters high. It's a dream! ”

Just when the Nine Ghost Kuroki was triumphant, the radar on the Xingyi ship detected the explosion and splashed the water column, and then adjusted the direction of the gun, and the shells flew towards the snowblowing ship again, this time the shells still did not hit the snowblowing ship, but the Nine Ghosts Kuroki couldn't laugh when he saw the landing point of the shells, because some of the shells fell in front of his own warship, and some fell behind! Nine Ghost Kuroki instantly understood that the battleship of Lin Yuan's troops had formed a straddle shot at his own warship!

In the naval battles of the battleship era, the formation of straddle fire meant that the target was already in the hit zone of the shell, the probability of the shell hitting was greatly increased, and it was only a matter of time before the target was hit.

Seeing that his warship was hit, Kukiki Kuroki prayed desperately in his heart: "Don't lose power!" As long as we can maintain a high speed, we will be able to escape from the fire range of the Shina warship! ”

At this moment, he only heard another explosion outside, he looked up at the porthole, and saw that the chimney had been blown out of the chimney, and the nine ghosts Kuroki almost fainted when he saw this scene, and he knew very well: if the warship lost power, it would only end up being sunk.

Nine Ghost Kuroki hurriedly grabbed the communicator and shouted, "Repair the power compartment immediately, don't slow down!" But there was no echo from the communicator, and the Nine Demons quickly understood: "The communicator has been damaged in the explosion and can no longer be used!" ”

Nine Ghost Kuroki grabbed a sailor casually and said, "Hurry up and send a message to the power cabin......" But before the words fell, he felt the ship's hull shake violently, and then he heard a muffled sound coming from under his feet, and the Nine Ghost Kuroki thought to himself: "This sound is clearly the sound of a torpedo exploding underwater, could it be that Lin Yuan's battleship fired a torpedo?" It shouldn't be! I haven't heard that Lin Yuan's troops are equipped with torpedoes! ”

At this time, the Nine Demons Kuroki suddenly felt the battleship tilt to the left, and he suddenly thought in his heart: "It's broken, the port side is in the water, and the warship is definitely going to sink!" Gotta fill the starboard side with water! Balance the warship! Thinking of this, the Nine Ghost Kuroki rushed out of the command room and walked to the balance cabin, only to see that there was chaos on the deck, the Japanese fire extinguishing sailors, and the sailors who ordered the order were in a mess, and the Nine Ghost Kuroki didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, and pondered in his heart while walking towards the pump room: "How did Lin Yuan's troops equip torpedoes?" ”

At this moment, the scene in front of him made him suddenly brightened, only to see a few shells entering the water on the side of the warship, splashing a huge column of water, Jiuhei Kuroki immediately thought: "It turns out that Lin Yuan's troops did not use torpedoes, and the reason why there is an effect of torpedo explosion is because the shells explode in the water!" ”

But it was useless for the Nine Demons Kuroki to think of this, a cannonball exploded behind him, and the Nine Demons Kuroki only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he didn't know anything, and a fragment pierced his body, and the Nine Demons and Kuroki were killed on the spot.

The snow blowing ship sank soon under the blow of heavy artillery, and the other two warships could not escape their doom and sank into the sea one after another, and the Xingyi ship and the Taiji ship rushed to the sea area where the warship sank, and sent small boats to kill all the Japanese sailors struggling on the water, so far, the Sino-Japanese naval battle was all over, the battle began on February 18 and ended on February 22, the main force of the Japanese combined fleet was devastated, four battleships, four battle cruisers and sixteen destroyers were all sunk, and the number of dead was more than 8,000! And not a single battleship of the navy of Lin Yuan's troops was sunk, and not even a single battleship was injured! The Japanese didn't even see the face of Lin Yuan's warship!

This naval battle profoundly changed the history of human warfare, before the war, the major naval powers in the world, unanimously believed that the Japanese navy with large ships and huge guns had a great chance of winning, Britain made an estimate that the Japanese navy was victorious, Lin Yuan's fleet of eight beast-class destroyers would all be sunk, Germany and the United States also made similar estimates, the most optimistic about Lin Yuan was France, but France also estimated that Lin Yuan would draw with the Japanese army, no country thought that Lin Yuan's fleet would win the sea battle!

However, the result of the battle shocked the naval experts of various countries in the world, Lin Yuan's Divine Beast-class destroyer directly sank most of the Japanese warships with something called "missile", and fought an unprecedented 24 to 0 in the naval battle! When they were so interested in missiles, they found out that they didn't know anything about them!

And when they racked their brains to collect intelligence, they found that Lin Yuan's troops guarded missiles extremely strictly, and their country's intelligence department was helpless, so all countries regarded missiles, radars and other weapons and equipment as the top priority of development! The world is about to enter an era of massive use of missiles and radars! In addition to missiles and radars, they found out something much more important from this naval battle.
